Well, this is refreshing. While Richard Stallman is a staunch critic of anything closed and non-Free, his ire seems mostly directed towards DRM and Microsoft. However, a lesser known fact is that he often talks about Apple's Mac OS X too in his speeches. During those speeches, he repeatedly claimed Mac OS X contained a backdoor which allowed Apple to forcibly impose software changes upon users. Stallman has now posted a retraction for those claims.

RMS is apologizing, here. He's admitting error. Let's give him at least a little credit for that. I mean, dammit, people, apparently the man can't win for loosing, if he admits error and apologizes, you guys whine that the ever said anything in the first place...
